John 11
1 Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ
2 This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲧⲉϩⲥ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲟϭⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲉⲧ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϥⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ
3 The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲡⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
4 and, when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it.”
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ
6 Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
7 Then, after that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲓ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ
9 “Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”

11 And, when he had said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ
12 “If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
13 But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.

14 Then he said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead;

16 At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲣ ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
17 When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.

18 Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,

19 a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.

21 “Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

24 “I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last day.”

25 “I am the resurrection and the life,” said Jesus. “He who believes in me will live, though he die;

27 “Yes Master,” she answered. “I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
28 After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “The teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟ
29 As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.

30 Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

31 So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died!”

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.

35 Jesus burst into tears.

36 “How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;

37 but some of them said, “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲃⲃⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲉⲙⲙⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲟⲩ
38 Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲓ ⲣⲱϥ
39 “Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲓ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
40 “Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
41 So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer.

42 I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you have sent me as your messenger.”

43 Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”

44 The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥⲃⲱⲕ
45 In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.

46 Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.

47 The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϭⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛ
48 If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple and our nation.”

49 One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ
50 “You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”
ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲗⲟⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲣⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
51 Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation –
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
52 And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
53 So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.

54 In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
ⲛ̅ⲇ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲫⲣⲁⲓⲙ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
55 But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
ⲛ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ϩⲁ ⲑⲏ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲃⲃⲟⲟⲩ
56 So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
ⲛ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲛⲇⲟϭⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ
57 The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
